On the outside, a metal insignia with 'ME(?)' in stylised letters has been applied.
Inside one of the pockets is a scrap of paper (c) with a name and address: 'MR COSTUS/ MANOLOWOLIS (?)/ RUE CARMEL/ SIDKY POCHA/ NO. 32 EGYPTE', and two Egyptian currency? notes (b + c).
e. A negative, showing the owner at a mature age, was also contained in the wallet.
